Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the granulated sugar and instant espresso powder. Add the eggs and beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until pale and thick, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the speed to low and mix in the vanilla extract. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide it in half and shape each portion into a log about 12 inches long and 2 inches wide. Place the logs on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart to allow for spreading.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the logs are slightly firm to the touch and cracked on the surface. Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully slice the logs diagonally into 3/4-inch thick biscotti pieces. Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet.
Bake the sliced biscotti for an additional 10-12 minutes. Flip each piece over and bake for another 10-12 minutes until dry and crisp.
Allow the biscotti to cool completely on a wire rack before serving or storing. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
